SECURITY SYSTEMS ASSESSMENT SERVICE
When It Comes to Physical Security, You Can’t Protect What You Can’t See
We deliver full-spectrum visibility into your video surveillance and access control systems—backed by expert insights and real-world recommendations.
Poor camera placement. Overloaded DVRs. Gaps in access control coverage. Most businesses don’t spot these problems until an incident exposes them. Our Security Systems Assessment Service identifies the weaknesses in your current systems, evaluates performance under real conditions, and provides an actionable plan to optimize coverage, compliance, and resilience.
Why Organizations Choose DigitalEra’s Security Systems Assessment
We evaluate your entire security system—from lenses to locks.
Right-sized assessments focused on performance, scalability, and budget alignment.
Aligns with NIST CSF, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and more—helping you reduce audit stress and improve maturity.
Know whether your infrastructure can support growth or needs upgrades.
From cabling and coverage to configuration and future readiness
Uncover What’s Missing. Optimize What’s in Place.
Prepare for What’s Next.
Security Meets Infrastructure
Built for Action, Not Just Insight
Every finding is paired with a fix—prioritized, practical and realistic.
Trusted by SMBs Across Industries
From healthcare and finance to hospitality and education—we know your risks and regulations.
We start with a full site walkthrough and hands-on inspection of your existing physical security systems. This includes:
-
CCTV Cameras: We document every surveillance device—make, model, resolution, recording method, and retention capability. We assess physical placement, visibility, mounting quality, and environmental conditions (e.g. lighting, weatherproofing, tamper resistance).
-
Access Control Hardware: We examine door strikes, card readers, keypads, and biometric scanners. Our team evaluates reliability, wear and tear, and alignment with your organizational flow.
-
Cable & Labeling Review: We inspect wiring closets, cable runs, patch panels, and labeling. Poor documentation leads to mismanagement—we ensure what’s in place is traceable and well-organized.
-
Device Condition Audit: We identify unsupported or near end-of-life hardware to flag for replacement before failure.
Configuration is often more critical than hardware—and where most problems are hiding. We test:
-
Live Feed Quality: Assess video clarity, frame rate, latency, and coverage overlap.
-
Recording Validation: Test playback functionality, review storage capacity, and ensure footage retention policies are enforced and in compliance (e.g., 30–90 days).
-
Access Control Responsiveness: Test entry/exit flow, authentication speeds, failed access handling, and alert generation.
-
System Usability: Interview users and admins to evaluate how intuitive and effective the system is under normal and high-stress scenarios.
Our IT-rooted team takes a deeper look at the technical backbone of your security systems:
-
IP Mapping & VLAN Segmentation: We assess whether your surveillance and access control devices are properly segmented from general user traffic to minimize risk.
-
Network Load Assessment: Determine whether your existing bandwidth, switches, and storage solutions can support high-definition streaming and retention for growth.
-
Centralization & Remote Access: Evaluate NVR, VMS, or cloud-based systems for redundancy, central monitoring capabilities, and failover readiness.
-
Growth Planning: Assess whether your current infrastructure can scale to support additional buildings, zones, or facilities.
Our deliverables translate raw data into clear insight—and clear next steps. You’ll receive:
-
Visual Documentation: Maps, floor plans, and Visio diagrams of device locations, signal coverage, and cable paths.
-
Current vs. Ideal Comparison: See where your system stands now—and what full coverage and compliance should look like.
-
Remediation Recommendations: Prioritized by risk, impact, and effort—so you know where to start.
-
Budget-Aware Roadmap: Suggested upgrades or integrations mapped to a phased implementation plan, aligned with your budget and operational goals.
